Abstract: Cumulative histograms taken from eight consecutive infrared pictures of GOES 1 are used to study the spatio-temporal evolution of mesoscale cloud patterns. A model is proposed to approximate the volume of cloud lying in a ...

Abstract: A technique for inferring the spatial and seasonal albodo changes over a whole climatic region from satellite data is developed. This technique uses the diurnal variation of radiances which is measured by geostationary ...

Abstract: A polar jet stream flowing over northern Europe is investigated using both the radiosounding network and the METEOSAT water vapor (WV) channel imagery. A maximum radiance band associated with the polar jet stream is shown ...

Abstract: High-altitude microwave radiometric observations at frequencies near 92 and 183.3 GHz were used to study the potential of retrieving atmospheric water vapor profiles over both land and water. An algorithm based on an ...
